Brantley Lake State Park & Sitting Bull Falls


We finally moved over to Brantley Lake State Park. Still in Carlsbad north of main city and it is wonderful... The sites are huge and the ones next to you are far enough away that you don't feel crowded. The sites have water,They have 30 & several 50 Amp, also 4 have sewer but if your rig is over 38 feet long you may not fit in to the sewer sites but all of the other sites are huge. Both AT&T and Verizon have good phone reception BUT no AT&T Internet... We called and they said in 6 months they would have it there. TV is by satellite only...no local stations. I don't know about Verizon. And a added bonus the SUNSETS are to die for... Gorgeous!!!





We went for a ride after to Sitting Bull Falls. We had found out about Sitting Bull Falls while looking at RV Park reviews. We headed the 30 miles west to Sitting Bull Falls and I'm so glad that we did. The drive was beautiful; We stopped numerous times to take pictures and once we got there, it was a short walk on a concrete walkway to the falls. Very beautiful - one of the largest waterfalls in New Mexico. You should bring a lunch as it's an ideal place for a picnic since there are covered and uncovered tables available with gorgeous views.

Until Later... Have FUN, Travel Safe & Enjoy Everyday!

    Hey Donna! Oh, you're making me miss New Mexico! I see that little or rather large jack rabbit! Keep your tiny eyes peeled for a road runner! They are just the cutest things!
    Be a sweetie and tell Chris hello!
